Display Feasibility
Hi All
So here is the question.
I have an SX connected to a Novatel GPS unit.
I receive Northing Easting as 8 byte doubles.
Is it possible to get the values displayed correctly on the parrallax 2x16 serial display?
I am thinking no.
Is there a hardware solution?
Something that would take in a double in byte form and output a string?
Thoughts?
Thanks
Lucas

I'd start by looking at the Propeller floating point library to see how it converts a single to a string.

I realized i could just have the unit send a ASCII log instead of binary.
THen i don't need to worry about the conversion.
Much simpler solution.
